Choosing an auspicious day to meet your new pet for the first time pays off handsomely. The day you first meet your pet (by actually touching it), not the purchase date, is the birthday for the relationship you have with your animal. You want to make sure there are favorable planetary alignments that symbolize companionship on that day. If you do not have a birthday for your pet, the day you first meet is especially important to help insure you have some friendship and companionship aspects as a part of your relationship.

If you are working with a breeder or shelter and they know the birthday for your potential pet(s), then I can give you a very good analysis on how well this animal will fit into your life and the lives of your family members.
